Comparison Operators

Comparison operators are used to compare two things, typically numbers (integers or floats)

Comparison Operators

Try these in IRB!

5 == 4

=> false

5 != 4

=> true

1 < 2

=> true

Try these in IRB!

1 > 2

=> false

7.1 <= 7.2

=> true

7.1 >= 7.2

=> false

Syntax:

expression1 operator expression2

For example

my_string.length > maximum_length

Note: Expressions can contain variables and method calls, as we have seen before

Note: Comparison operators are like a yes/no question, therefore they always return either true
or false

==	Are the left and right side equal?
!=	Are the left and right side not equal?
<	Is the left side smaller than the right side?
>	Is the left side bigger than the right side?
<=	Is the left side smaller than or equal to the right side?
>=	Is the left side bigger than or equal to the right side?
